Other Important Information

Student records are confidential and protected by the Federal Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and are not available to parents without a
written release from the student (regardless of student's age). To submit
a written release submit a letter from the student that includes a copy of
the student's photo ID with the student's name, ID number and signature and
a written statement from the student. The statement should be very specific
as to what information is allowed to be released. (Grades, class schedule,
transcripts, communication with instructors, etc)

Any student who places into remedial math, English or ESLL through placement
testing cannot be admitted through this process.

Student's high school may not accept Foothill College courses that are
completed that were not approved on the high school release form.

Student will need to request Foothill College transcripts if they want
their grades sent to their high school or need a transcript sent to another
college or university. Request official transcripts online or print an
unofficial transcript at MyPortal.

All courses will appear on student's permanent record and must be
reported to any other college or university to which student applies.

All students attending Foothill College under these criteria are considered regular community college students.

As a college student, these students are no longer considered K-12
students, and thus are not entitled to services that would be made available by the K-12 system, including IEPs.

If student is under 18 and is not attending high school at all, we
follow the guidelines from the State Chancellor's Office that indicates,
"…The assessment of a school representative should verify the readiness
of the student for college level coursework." The college requires a separation
letter from the student's high school to avoid truancy issues. The Vice President,
Student Services or his/her designee at each college, would have final determination
of appropriateness of any courses.

High school students need to re-apply in
CCC Apply
after graduating from high school to update your status as a graduate so the system allows you to register.

Definition of terms for Foothill College

Concurrent enrollment: Concurrent enrollment for 11th and 12th
grade high school students allows enrollment in college-level, degree-applicable
courses for advanced scholastic or advanced vocational purposes.

Release of Holds Forms: Prerequisites
are conditions of enrollment that students are required to meet prior to enrollment
in particular courses or programs. The assignment of a prerequisite to a course
signifies that the course, skills, or body of knowledge described in the course
are essential to the success of the student in that course and that it is highly
unlikely that a student who has not met the prerequisite will earn a satisfactory
grade in the course (or at least one course in the program) for which the prerequisite
has been established.

Course Advisory: When a course has an advisory, it means that the
College is recommending a certain preparation before entering the course. The preparation
is considered advantageous to a student's success in the class. This preparation is
recommended, and the student is advised (but not required) to meet the condition before
or in conjunction with enrollment in the course or educational program.
